What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-Supported Dentures (ISDs) are a modern solution for people who have lost most or all of their teeth. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums, implant-supported dentures are anchored firmly in the jawbone using dental implants. This makes them more stable, comfortable, and functional.
At Esthetica Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery Hospital in Vadodara, we offer full-mouth restoration using implant-supported dentures to help patients regain confidence, comfort, and oral function.
Who Can Benefit from Implant-Supported Dentures?
Ideal candidates include:
-
Patients missing all teeth in one or both jaws.
-
People struggling with loose or slipping dentures.
-
Individuals who want better chewing and speaking ability.
-
Patients with sufficient jawbone density to support implants (or who can undergo bone grafting).
-
Those looking for a long-term, natural-looking tooth replacement solution.
Even older patients or those with long-term denture use can benefit from implant-supported dentures, provided they are in good general health.
